Calvert City Summer Slam – The Best Little Pickleball Tournament in Kentucky
June 23-24, Calvert City Doctor’s Park
Calvert City is hosting its FIRST pickleball tournament this weekend! Over 170 are registered to play. Food trucks will be on site. Darlene and Parvin Latta are leading this exciting inaugural event! Although there are no spaces left to play, come out and watch some Pickleball Games and have lunch or dinner at one of the local food trucks! In 2014, while in Florida, Darlene and Parvin Latta saw a couple from Canada playing something on part of the tennis court. They were familiar with racquetball and tennis but didn’t know anything about this game called Pickleball. From 2014 to 2023, Darlene and Parvin taught over 100 people how to play Pickleball, not just in Calvert City, but to tourists just passing through and many in our region. As of late 2022, there are over 110 recreational players and 40 tournament players in Calvert City. “We chose to live in Calvert City because it was close to work, but we continue to choose Calvert because of the small town feel with all the amenities and of course, pickleball,” said Darlene.
